survey data
24211This data collection contains basic demographic, social,
and economic data for each member of interviewed households during the
ten waves of the 1993 panel of SIPP. Variables include age, sex, race,
ethnic origin, marital status, household relationship, education, and
veteran status. Limited data are provided on housing unit
characteristics such as number of units in structure and tenure. Core
questions, repeated at each interview, cover monthly labor force
activity, types and amounts of monthly income, and participation in
various cash and noncash benefit programs for each month of the survey
period. Data for employed persons include number of hours and weeks
worked, earnings, and weeks without a job. Nonworkers are classified
as unemployed or not in the labor force. In addition to income data
associated with labor force activity, nearly 50 other types of income
data are provided. Several variables are included for use in
identifying longitudinal households and persons in them and to aid in
analysis.
